Chapter 413 - We need to talk (2) (2/2)

Should she stay here? Maybe Mei Li was right. She should meet him and have a long talk. They should have this conversation.

Her head throbbed again. She was having a headache thinking about this. Should she or shouldn't she?

Her knees went weak and she fell to the floor, crying. She hated this feeling of sadness and frustration. She wished she did not have to have these feelings ever again but...

She knew if she returned to Jeremy, she would have these feelings again and again. Is it worth it? Just for their love?

The ringing from her phone interrupted her thought. She turned her head and looked at it silently. Was it Mika again or Mei Li?

She pulled herself on her feet and went to the bed. She ignored that the bathrobe wrapping around her body was getting loose. She closed her eyes and let a tear dropped from her eye.

It was him.

Jeremy.

Did he hear her heart?

Her shaking hand reached to get the phone. Her watery eyes stared at his name on the screen. Why wouldn't he leave her alone? Just for a few days?

She closed res as her finger slid on the screen. Then, she took a deep breath.

*~*~*~*

Jeremy was about to end the call when the call was connected. His eyes shone when his call was finally answered.

”My love, I...”

”Jeremy, what are you doing? Come help bringing the things,” Mrs. Long called her son. She could not believe her son would leave them and went to wait at the entrance. Imagine her frustration having to search for him when they finally realized he was no longer in the shop. She had to walk so many steps before she could see him.

And he was busy talking on the phone!

She approached him with her hands on her h.i.p.s, c.o.c.king an eyebrow. She expected him to end the call and followed her obediently.

”Mother,” he sighed. He knew what she wanted but he could not waste this chance. Ryn was finally willing to answer his call. He did not think he would get another chance if he ended this call.

”What are you doing? Hurry up. You cannot let your grandmother waiting alone,” her mother said impatiently.

Jeremy sighed. He opened his mouth to speak to Ryn but his love was quicker.

”I... We need to talk,” she said slowly.

Her voice was soft but he could hear her clearly. His face brightened. Does this mean she finally realized her wrong?

”Tonight? I... I will go to you,” he said hurriedly. He could not wait to see her again and hug her tight. Being separated for hours in a cold war left him desperate and almost crazy.

He needed her in his life. He could not lose her. Not again.

There was silence on her part. It made his heart pounded hard. Would she refuse?

”Jeremy,” Mrs. Long called her son impatiently. What was he doing?

”Wait for a second, mother,” Jeremy told his mother and he turned backing her. He still refused to stop talking with Ryn. He still wanted to hear her voice.

”I will call you later... once I've finished the dinner meeting,” she said with a sigh. She knew if she postpones the meeting, he would get more impatient and would refuse to talk with her calmly. It was better to get this over quickly.

”Fine. I'll be waiting for your call,” Jeremy said, a bit unwilling but he knew when she said she was going to have a dinner meeting it was related to her job. He did not want her to jeopardize her work because of him. He could accept it if she was to meet with men because of her work commitment but other than that, he refused to let her be with other men than him.

He said his goodbye, now with a better feeling. Tonight he would tell her she should believe in him. Everything he did was for their future. He only wanted the best for them.
